There are many signs to let you know if you have a rat infestation and they are all easy to recognise. The most obvious signs are seeing the rats either alive or dead, the other is seeing their droppings which are easy to distinguish due to their size which is usually up to 12mm in length.
Rats tend to leave a trail of destruction, they gnaw frequently as their teeth are continuously growing through out their lives. They build their nests wherever they can indoors, usually in lofts or under the floor boards. They will eat anything, more often than not urinating and leaving droppings, which will contaminate the food and area. It is well known that rats are incontinent so will as a result foul everywhere. Because of the parasites they carry rats do transmit disease to humans including salmonella, weils disease and leptospirosis.
